5/5

“Katherine is amazing. Text, emails, or phone. I know I’ll hear from her soon. She keeps me informed and is also mindful of costs. … She is great! I’m glad I chose her as my representation. She’s honest about how things could go good or bad with a given path and helpful in making an informed decision. … My family doesn’t have a lot of money but having her counsel in my case, her attention to detail, and blunt honesty is well worth it to me.”
